A section of the M60 between junction 10 and junction 11 has been closed with diversions put into place after a light goods vehicle overturned onto the central reservation of the Barton Motorway Bridge earlier this morning.
Police say that there are no serious injuries reported and that the driver escaped with minor cuts and bruising to the head as well as a broken wrist.
The truck has since been pulled upright and recovered.
A full closure of the motorway between the junctions is currently in place due to the strong winds and motorists are being advised to seek an alternative route.
Strong winds and heavy rain from Storm Franklin have been causing havoc on the road and rail networks.
Additionally the closure has had a knock on effect around the Eccles and Worsley junctions, causing heavy traffic on surrounding roads.
Diversions are currently in place
